GE 90-30/20/Micro manual Accessing Additional Fault Information

3

The programming software may be in any operating mode. If the programming software is in OFFLINE mode, no faults are displayed. In ONLINE or MONITOR mode, I/O fault data is displayed. In ONLINE mode, faults can be cleared (this feature may be password protected).

Once cleared, faults which are still present are not logged again in the table.

Accessing Additional Fault Information

The fault tables contain basic information regarding the fault. Additional information pertaining to each fault can be displayed through the programming software. In addition, the programming software can provide a hexadecimal dump of the fault.

The last entry, Correction, for each fault explanation in this chapter lists the action(s) to be taken to correct the fault. Note that the corrective action for some of the faults includes the statement:

Display the PLC Fault Table on the Programmer. Contact GE Fanuc Field Service, giving them all the information contained in the fault entry.

This second statement means that you must tell Field Service both the information readable directly from the fault table and the hexadecimal information. Field Service personnel will then give you further instructions for the appropriate action to be taken.
